Before the Battle

I decided to do a more finished piece again, since it's been awhile. I'm not sure how satisfied I am with it, so I might do another one soon.

Here's the finished piece. Below I will show the process.

My initial thumbnail traditional sketch.

A digital sketch I did to tie everything down.

Blocking in base colors and lines.

Adding the shading.

And again, the final piece where I added effects.
